Today is the official second day of the trip, but really the first day of the trip. We start the day with a early breakfast of eggs and fruit and rice and beans. Everything is very tastey. We drive away from the hotel and stop at a national park for a hike. The hike was very neat. The forests are so dense here! We saw a few birds, but mostly a ton of interesting plants and bugs.
We then drove to a fruit stand on the side of the road. There were so many fruits I've never seen before! I couldn't even name most of them. I had a fruit from a palm that was deliciously savory. I had an interesting purple fruit that I think was caimita that was a cool purple on the outside and a kinda passion fruit inside. There was an orange fruit filled with clear egg sac like fruits that was absolutely delicious! I had some amazing mango, and coconut and many others. I was in fruit heaven.
We then went across the street to a cool road side buffet/cafeteria kind of thing. They had a very long line of tons of different foods. I got a fish ceviche, a lengua stew, and a heart of palm salad. All of it was great.
Then more driving to get to out next location of cahuita, a sleepy sea side village. Our hotel is really cool, all the rooms are little cabins that you have to go through jungle paths to get to. The hotel has a bunch of parrots. We went to the beach and played in the waves for hours before dinner. I missed the ocean quite a bit. We had a lovely dinner provided by the hotel, then had a bonfire on the beach. Over all, QN amazing day.
